Volunteering at Public Service Events

BARC organizes volunteer communications support for several events each year. These are open to any licensed amateur; a dual-band HT with a good antenna is generally required and a spare battery is highly recommended. For more information, contact the club’s Public Service chair, Brett Smith, AB1RL (ab1rl@arrl.net).
